Episode 2 part 2- Heritage
Arthur swam a few miles in a matter of seconds. He ended up north on the border of Sixth Shore. The beach was inhabited with surfers, many yound, like himself. Initially he wanted to go to Atlantis, but he didn't know where, and he really just wanted to get away from his dad.
Under the water, he saw one person crash way down almost to the bottom: it was a very deep part of the beach. The girl hit her head on the surf board, and it must have hit hard, Arthur thought, because she was out cold. Srthur quickly swam over and helped her up, out of the water and onto the beach. It was Kako, and she had a bruise. Arthur put her down gently as a young boy of about twelve came over with his surf board. "Kay, Kay, are you alright!" She opened her eyes and spit out some sea water. She saw Arthur in a blur, and fainted again.
When she woke up, she saw that Arthur and the boy put her down on a towel with a lifeguard checking her bruise. "She's okay, it's just a little scratch, a bump." the lifeguard said.
While she was out the boy introduced himself as Kako's brother, Kyo. When Kako was finally at her sneses, she said, "Arthur? What are you doing here." "He saved your life." said Kyo. Arthur smiled and said "It was no big deal." Kyo nodded, "Yeah it was! If you weren't there, my sister would've drowned!" "That makes me feel better Kyo, thanks." Kako replied sarcastically, as she once again stared into Arthur's eyes.
It was a few hours later, and Kako was sitting on the towel with Arthur and an icepack. "You never told me what you were doing out there in the ocean, with no surfboard. And how'd you get here." Arthur didn't want to revela anything, so he said, "Umm I uhh...cab!" Kako smiled and said, "We should really meet somewhere else. I mean, other than you saving my life." Arthur shook his head, saying, "I don't think I'm gonna be saving people in the ocean often."
Kako smiled. "So why were you out in the ocean with no surfboard?" aRthur looked out into the sea and said, "I'm more of a swimmer." "Duh. You're only like the best swimmer in the school, and quite possibly the state!" "Yeah. I've always felt a connection to the ocean. (And I definitely do have some ties) But I go here for an escape." Kako nodded, "Problems at home on your sixteenth birthday, Molly Ringwald?"
Arthur said, "You're a mind-reader aren;t you?" Kako laughed and said, "Well? What problem?" "It's my Dad. Today he told me I was adopted." "Oh. and you're pissed that he never told you?" "Yeah. And I pretty much burst out of the house yelling that I was going 'HOME' whatever that is. That's howI got here."
Kako smiled, adn they silently stayed there, breathing together in time with the ocean. "You shouldn't be too mad a t him. I'm not. I'm glad he adopted you, 'cuz you might've grown up elsewhere, and we wouldn't have met." Arthur smiled and gazed into her eys, as she gazed into his. In a silence that lasted forver, they leaned over to each other. "She whispered, "Happy birthday..." and closed her eyes as she moved in.
But there was a sudden "LOOK OUT!" from Kyo coming out of the water. The two turned around and saw an old rusty car coming at them, specifically Arthur. They both jumped up and out of the way in time. After eeing that they were okay, Kyo said, "That is the abandoned station wagon in the woods outside the beach!" Arthur saw that no one could drive that rust-bucket, so the question was: Who rolled it down?
A/N: Sorry it took so long, but since Smallville might be doing an episode, I think I should finish this before they do tak it! Thanks for the comments!
